Soldiers' Assault: Veteran Special Agents and New Recruits

Chapter 188 Incredible! Golden plaques line up to enter the village (Please subscribe)

Xu Sanduo is truly an extraordinary person. He can always suddenly do something strange when things are going very well, giving you a real back injury.

It's likely that they didn't hear what Jackie Chan said before, only the second half of his sentence—"Send him over, that's all"—and assumed that Yuan Lang was sending Xu Sanduo over.

Yuan Lang paused for a full five seconds before giving the order over the radio: "Over. Xu Sanduo, proceed to 337K. Over."

The fact that he deliberately mentioned the name was a subtle hint to remind Xu Sanduo.

pity.

Wu Liuyi is single-minded, but Xu San is multifaceted.

He didn't understand the meaning behind the words at all, and replied in a serious tone: "Over, received. I'll go to 337K right away. Over."

"Keep the channel clean, all done." Yuan Lang was speechless.

"Received, all done."

Xu Sanduo replied earnestly as before, and quietly got up and walked towards point 337K.

Yuan Lang regretted something for the first time in his life.

I regret giving Xu Sanduo, who's so stubborn, a code name that only makes him more stubborn. Now all he can think about is "It's over."

My head is about to explode!

……

Three young men who left their impoverished village of Xiaorongshu to join the army are all doing quite well now, more than three years later.

Even the worst among them managed to get into the cookhouse of a strategic unit directly under the Capital Military Region, where they were sent to "reflect on their mistakes."

Xu Sanduo, the weakest of the three, has now become a special forces soldier among special forces, following his good older brother to the battlefield.

We are currently in the mountainous region on the southern border of Xinjiang, about to engage in our first direct confrontation with an armed mule caravan.

Jackie Chan, who is doing the best, is even more remarkable. He has grown into a captain of the special forces, and his promotion to officer in the military region has already begun.

The three children who went out all did very well.

Three years later, the village of Xia Rongshu has undergone tremendous changes.

Because of the fight at the train station, their children also joined the army, and the relationship between the Xu Baishun and Cheng Guoqiang families improved immediately.

Over the years, we've had a lot of bad blood, but now we're incredibly close.

In the second year after Jackie Chan went to serve in the military, Cheng Guoqiang instilled in him, seemingly casually, ideas and ways to make money, like reciting scriptures.

Together with Xu Baishun, they opened a cooperative in the county town and earned their first pot of gold by acting as agents to sell health products.

The reason for bringing along Xu Baishun, who had nothing, was that both of them came from the military and became exceptionally close after reconciling.

Cheng Guoqiang wasn't a man with many ulterior motives; he just wanted everyone to get rich together.

Secondly, Cheng Guoqiang was more worldly-wise. He knew that to make money in a shop in the county town, you needed people, and at that time, the crackdown on organized crime had not yet begun.

Fortunately, there were people at Xu Baishun's house, which could prevent anyone from deliberately causing trouble.

With the help of his gang, Xu Erhe modified some three-wheeled motorcycles for hauling goods and people, and his business in the county town was thriving.

Now that one family is wealthy and the other has connections, it's a perfect match.

Now in their third year, Cheng Guoqiang and Xu Baishun, having made a little money, decided to open a mine together.

One person invests 20!

These days, the country is embarking on a massive construction boom, and China's reputation as an infrastructure powerhouse is gradually gaining recognition. Construction is underway everywhere, even in county towns.

Construction requires stones, and both large and small stones are in high demand now.

It just so happens that Xia Rongshu Village is extremely poor, with no local specialties whatsoever. However, right next to the village, there is a natural large rock mountain.

If you could open a stone quarry there, you could definitely make a fortune.

Xu Erhe is a very clever guy and has become the main force in running the stone quarry. He has been staying in the county town recently, handling all the procedures for the stone quarry.

Two days ago, Xu Baishun couldn't wait any longer and went to the county to ask his son, Xu Erhe, about the situation.

Cheng Guoqiang stayed in the village waiting for news. When he had nothing to do, he would go to the fields to do some side jobs. He wasn't worried about food and drink; he just wanted to have some fun.

It was quite a coincidence.

On the day Jackie Chan and his team began their combat operations at the border, Xu Baishun returned wearing a newly bought Yageer brand suit, humming a little tune with a smile.

On the way back, we took small three-wheeled motorcycle taxis, which sped along the way.

Three years have passed, and the government has repaired the road.

It's so much more convenient to go out now.

Cheng Guoqiang, who was wearing a straw hat and had his trousers rolled up, was catching loaches with a net in the paddy field by the roadside when he saw Xu Baishun humming a little tune as he walked over.

From a distance, he called out, "Hey, you old codger, you went to the county town and even got a designer suit, and it looks pretty good on you."

"That's right, my son Erhe bought it for me, it cost over 100 yuan."

Xu Baishun carried a briefcase in his left hand, his right hand behind his back at his waist, and a pair of black leather shoes in his hand, walking with an air of smugness.

The problem is that this person is too thin; the suit doesn't look stylish on him.

"How's it going? Is the quarry deal going to be done?" Cheng Guoqiang asked as he tossed fish from his net into the bucket.

"That's for sure."

Xu Baishun patted the briefcase tucked under his left arm: "I've already signed all the contracts."

"You don't know anything about contracts. You can't even read two words. Signing a contract is such a big deal, why didn't you call me? What if something goes wrong? Come here and let me take a look," Cheng Guoqiang said worriedly.

"Don't worry, my son Erhe hired someone to sign the contract. They're called Green Master. They said your eldest son used to teach him. Just find Green Master to sign the contract; they specialize in this."

Xu Baishun walked toward Cheng Guoqiang with his legs splayed out.

"My eldest son knows a lot of things. When he was at home, I always listened to him," Cheng Guoqiang said with pride when talking about Jackie Chan.

"Your eldest son is really smart. If I had really given birth to a daughter, I would have married him, haha."

Xu Baishun walked to the edge of the paddy field next week, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and threw it at Cheng Guoqiang without saying a word, making Cheng Guoqiang flustered.

He quickly threw away the fishing net and caught the cigarette that was thrown to him.

"Hey, Zhonghua cigarettes, you old codger, you're smoking such good cigarettes now? I can't bear to buy them for myself, but I'll treat myself to something fancy today." Cheng Guoqiang held the cigarettes with obvious delight.

"You old codger, you're so stingy with your money, are you saving it for your grave?" Xu Baishun said with a laugh.

The two of them called each other "old guy" and "old thing," which was quite amusing.

"I can't spend it recklessly. I have to save it for my eldest and youngest sons to get married. I need to save more money so I can find them beautiful wives, hehe."

Cheng Guoqiang's eyebrows shot up with joy at the thought of his two sons getting married and giving him a bunch of grandchildren.

"You old codger, you're so stingy. What money do you need to get a wife? Once our mine is up and running, all the young ladies in the surrounding villages will be your son's to choose from. We could even give them to you for free."

Xu Baishun saw things much more clearly.

These days, there aren't many households with 10,000 yuan; the Cheng and Xu families are already households with 100,000 yuan.

The two companies jointly invested 40 yuan to open a mine. If the mine can be successfully opened, they can easily earn millions in a few years.

In the 90s, why would a millionaire family have trouble finding a wife?

Xu Baishun didn't believe it!

Right now, matchmakers are practically wearing out his doorstep. So many women want to marry into his family. If they had a mine, things would be unbearable.

Looking at the bucket, which was only half full of loaches and small fish, it would be perfect to cook them and have them with drinks.

Xu Baishun said greedily, "Hey old man, why don't you give me the loaches in your bucket? I'll take them back and cook them to go with my drinks."

"That won't do. My second and third sons love loach the most. They haven't been back for so many years, they must be missing the taste of home. I'm going to make dried loach and send it to the army so they can taste it."

Cheng Guoqiang put the cigarette in his pocket and shook his head like a rattle-drum.

"Hey, you old man, you've got a good idea. How come I didn't think of that? My third son likes to eat it too. If you don't make it for him, we can come down and get it ourselves."

As Xu Baishun spoke, he began to take off his clothes and shoes, and even his pants.

People in the countryside aren't so particular.

Wearing baggy breeches to the fields is perfectly normal.

"Hey, don't do that! You're wearing a designer suit, don't ruin it in the fields," Cheng Guoqiang quickly advised.

"What brand names? We're rich, what's there to be afraid of?"

Xu Baishun undressed very quickly, and in just a few swipes he was left with only riding breeches and a short-sleeved vest.

A suit paired with a short-sleeved shirt is absolutely stunning!

Seeing that Xu Baishun was about to stand up and go down into the field, Cheng Guoqiang quickly went over and said, "Oh dear, let me help you. Don't let my old brother fall. It's deep here. Hold my hand."

"I'm perfectly healthy, I don't need it."

Xu Baishun came down, reached into the bucket, grabbed the fishing net, and said, "They're all so small, they won't do. Let me show you how to do it."

Xu Baishun's family was always very poor, and with three children to feed, he was forced to learn how to hunt in the wild.

He set up the fishing net in the paddy field and worked around with it for a while. He actually managed to catch several fish with one swipe, one of which was as thick as a thumb.

"Wow, you're really something!" Cheng Guoqiang exclaimed in surprise.

"You're joking, aren't you?"

Xu Baishun recalled with a sigh, "Back when I was pregnant with my third son, my family was so poor that we had nothing to eat. So I caught this whole bucket of loaches, which weighed 10 jin (5 catties)."

"You're bragging again, 10 pounds."

Cheng Guoqiang chuckled as he helped put the loaches into the bucket, then teased, "You call him 'San'er' so sweetly, you don't even call him 'turtle son' anymore?"

"It's been changed, it's been changed a long time ago. Son, I wonder how things are going in the army. Sigh," Xu Baishun said dejectedly.

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, they've been in the army for three years. The last time they called, they said they'd all become non-commissioned officers and made something of themselves. I just don't know when they'll be able to come back and see their old father," Cheng Guoqiang said, equally nostalgic.

Just then.

Suddenly, the two heard a lively sound of gongs and drums, as well as the crackling of firecrackers, coming from the village entrance not far away.

"What's going on? Is someone getting married? How come I don't know?" Cheng Guoqiang looked up and asked.

"You old codger, what kind of village chief are you? You don't know anything about village affairs," Xu Baishun mocked with a laugh.

"Wait, something's not right."

Cheng Guoqiang stood by the field and looked around. He recognized the people walking in front of him and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, so many people have come! It seems they're all from the county's armed forces department. The one walking in front is Minister Liu from the armed forces department."

"It's not conscription time yet, what are they doing here?"

Xu Baishun dried the water on his riding breeches and stood on the edge of the field, looking towards the village entrance. He saw that there were at least forty or fifty people coming.

There were also 10 people carrying four plaques.

There were some words written on it, but I couldn't see them because it was too far away.

Behind each banner are two people, one on each side supporting a red banner in the middle with a line of gold characters written on it. There are four banners in total.

There were also some golden words written on it, but they were too far away to see clearly.

They were lined up in a neat row.

People on both sides were constantly setting off firecrackers, which kept popping and crackling.

It looks exceptionally impressive!

"My goodness, what's going on? Is Bao Zheng (a famous judge in Chinese history) coming to the village? You're the village chief, do you know that?" Xu Baishun was completely bewildered.

"I know nothing."

Although Cheng Guoqiang didn't know what had happened, as the village chief, he always had to get involved in anything that happened in the village.

So he quickly walked out of the field, wearing flip-flops and a straw hat, and hurried towards the village entrance.
